Is Denny Hamlin Worth Rostering For Daytona Lineups?
3 days agoDenny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, will start this week's Daytona 500 from the eighth position. Hamlin earned the starting spot through the second of the two Daytona Duel races, where he led 14 laps and finished fourth. After 38 starts completed at Daytona, Hamlin has three wins (most of active drivers), 12 top-10 finishes, 676 laps led (most of active drivers), and an average finish of 17.6. In first practice, Hamlin ranked first in single lap times and second in 10 consecutive lap averages, while in second practice, Hamlin ranked 24th in single lap times of all drivers. Considering his low upside based on his starting position and high salary on DraftKings ($10,000) and FanDuel ($11,500), Hamlin is not a top recommendation for DFS lineups. The No. 11 Toyota driver should only be utilized in tournament lineups because of his high-risk factor overall.
